ClubTest: Putters
Nike OZ Black T130
$169
The company line "Two 65-gram tungsten weights positioned in the extreme heel and toe reduce skidding and keep off-center hits on track."
Our testers say Those 130 grams of tungsten pulled their weight. The OZ earned unrivaled marks for both feel and control. Panelists drained the most putts with OZ and afterward voted it Testers' Top Pick. "The weight felt like you control it, and not vice versa," said Gerald Holtzman (handicap 0). Pete Stonestreet (12) said, "The head was heavy so a short backswing went a long way." Added Kirk Fischer (7), "Impact was crisp and forceful-there was no sense of torque or twist." The black, horseshoe-shaped head raised eyebrows, but most warmed to it. "It left no doubt that you were getting the most that technology had to offer," said Gary Wilson (13). "Looks aside, it was easy to get the ball rolling on-line. And it stayed on-line. That's the bottom line," said Ken Stauffer (14)
